24 returns next May - More jack Bauer for us

Yup... instead of a 2 hour movie, there will be a 12 - episode mini-season beginning May 2014. I was looking for the old 24 threads and wanted to post this on them, but they have been retired to the Hangar archives. At least Kiefer Sutherland will have some work this year.

Jack Bauer is coming back.

Fox executives said Monday that its drama "24" is returning next May for a limited run that will stretch into the summer. The adventure series with Kiefer Sutherland starring as Jack Bauer ended its original run in 2010.

Fox programming chief Kevin Reilly said creators had been thinking about doing a movie with the original cast. But when Fox announced it was interested in doing a big event miniseries, they realized it was the perfect format.

“They always had this idea of maybe someday doing a feature film,” he said. “I think they all agreed 24 being compressed into two hours is not 24.”

Sutherland said he was excited to see his character return to TV.

“The response to ‘24’ is unlike anything I have ever experienced as an actor before,” Sutherland said in a statement. “To have the chance to reunite with the character, Jack Bauer, is like finding a lost friend. The story ideas from [producer] Howard Gordon are exciting and fresh, and will not disappoint...Make no mistake, my goal is to knock your socks off.”

I've been on a 24 kick since last month anyway. I was in college during seasons 3-7 and didn't really watch them or pay attention to them as I would have liked. So I started from season 1 and am up to season 5. I swear, it's still awesome...even the shows I had already seen and remembered were still addictive.

This is great news.

season 5, 7 & 8 are great. Plus season 8, the final season relates to 5 & 7 in ways you don't expect. Season 6 you can skip.

That will never happen and the other people on the show said they would never work with Chappelle ever again b/c of how badly he screwed them over. Chappelle hated doing the show for some strange reason, I remember hearing an interview he did on Stern while he was filming the show before it ever aired on Comedy Central and he seemed miserable. Wierd.
